The unstable is named Sid, after the kid next door who liked to blow up toys.
To be fair, the paid version of Davinci comes with the missing codecs. It’s only the free version that people have trouble with x264/x265.
MacBoo sounds so cute.
In the US, a lot of Lowes Hardware Stores use Linux on their employee computers. Most movie theater projectors are running CentOS, and most movies that come in on hard drives are formatted to Ext2.
It’s becoming impossible to monitor. I have 5G Broadband Internet and I share a public IP address with everyone in my area. I look at https://iknowwhatyoudownload.com and it shows thousands of torrents that my neighbors have pulled downloaded.
Immutable and Declarative OS design is simply an option. I think it’s a damn good one, but right now, it’s not for me. That could easily change in the near future.
The idea excites me. A potential hardened OS that user-friendly could be a great option for Business and Academic computing.
Punching yourself in the face is only free if you can afford the medical bills.
It’s a good thing that ChatGPT is only one of the many LLM’s to choose from.
They started putting ads in Windows, a few users switched, but most still continue Windows.
Google will roll this out and a few users will switch, but most will just keep using Chrome.
We’ve already established that most users don’t seem to care.
See, here’s the thing about open source, you have the source. You can always compile a discontinued program. You can even update the code if you want. No one can say “You can’t run it anymore”. I can grab Linux Kernel 0.01 and still compile it. No one will stop me. No one!
With proprietary software, there’s always a chance they’ll pull the rug out from under you.
Not easy to switch a secured 4,000+ workstation business. Plus, a lot of companies get their support, license, and managed email from one vendor. It’s bundled in such a way that it would cost MORE to deploy Linux. (And that very much on purpose)
Keep in mind that though this is a blow to the industry, it’s not like optical media is just yet dead. Hell, there are still new releases to DVDs coming out today.
Their static website hosting is probably the best in the business. We seriously need some competition though.
Long time Raspberry Pi user here, the only software I can’t load natively is Steam. What software are you having problem with on the M1?
I literally use GIMP every day at my job. It’s a very powerful application that makes my life easier.
There will be some growing pains, but the x86 compatibility layers are getting surprisingly good. Personally, other than Steam, I don’t have any software this is incompatible with ARM.
Wayland is dope.
My laptop has two USBC ports. No logos of any kind. They are Thunderbolt 4. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
